24 Oct Update
Keegan is still doing ok with his feeds. Last night right after Gray left to go home, Keegan started to choke and cough, which pushed his ng tube out a bit. He was pretty upset and ended up pulling it all the way...

24 Oct Update
The plan changed yesterday after we posted. Keegan's weight was down to 15.3 pounds, and he had been 24 hours without a bowel movement by 4pm yesterday. So with the picc line out of place, Dr. Brown advised to go ahead with starting...
22 Oct Update
Keegan did ok yesterday. He was in a decent mood much of the day despite a few problems. His picc line has migrated out of the vein it should be in. It's not a huge problem, but it means we can't increase...
20 Oct Update
I'm so sorry we didn't get a post up yesterday. We couldn't get the journal to work. We even took pictures that we tried to post, but even that wasn't working. Keegan's room is on the back side of the hospital, so...

Good Afternoon Everyone…I just wanted to leave a quick update for everyone checking in on Keegan. Maddie stayed with him last night. I think overall we had a pretty good night. Maddie reported that he was up and down with some stomach cramping and scratching...

Keegan’s hanging in there right now, but he still feels pretty cruddy. He was admitted yesterday at Children’s around 3pm and started IV fluids almost immediately. He has been on complete “gut rest”, meaning nothing by mouth, not even water. He slept...
14 Oct Back at Children’s
Keegan will be admitted at Children's this afternoon for at least 24-hour observation. His biopsies were normal, and he had the GI sonogram/xray series this morning. He desperately needs fluids and gut rest. We will update with more information and details once...
10 Oct Endoscopy Results
Well, the endoscopy gave us few answers. For the most part, everything was normal. Keegan does have a "pancreatic rest" at the base of his stomach. This is basically a birth defect where the pancreas doesn't separate properly from the stomach tissue;...
